The Stanton Spectator says: The fact
that Mr.. John NJ. Carroll, then treasurer
of Stanton, suddenly disappeared in
September. 1885. need not be repeated A.,
further than is necessary for a proper IN
derstanding of the references now made
to him. A gentleman Of this city recent
IN visited him, and with those who speak
authoritatively in regard TO his affairs
declined TO reveal more than the rcpresen
tations here made of his matters, which
are furnished for publication. lie says he
did not leave because he was defaulter,
for, on his showing, which he will shortly
return to make, his accounts were entire
ly straight. His reason for leaving were
Of private nature, and if disclosed
would no doubt be considered sufficient TO
justify him in leaving whe n he did. Mr..
Carroll has been seriously III, but is now
conyalesciDg, and as soon as his health Is
restored he will return here. HIS locality

The ROckbridge News says: Never III
this county has there been better pros
pect for fine corn crop than this year.
The young corn, however, has been look
ing little badly from the dry weather,
some Of it beginning to roll up. The fine
rains Of the past week have done great
deal of good and should the weather con-
tinue favorable for few weeks, we will
have the finest crop that has eyer been
raised IN this county.
The Clinch Valley NeCs says About
700 hands are at work on the Clinch Val
ley extension between Springvile and
Graham AZ soon as the right of way is
established as many more will be put on
near town. Twenty four miles additional
of the Clinch Valley railroad has been let
TO contract. This section of the road lies
twelve miles east and twelve miles west
from Lick Creek, half in Russell and half
in Wise county.
The shepherdstown Register says; The
Methodist Protestant church building at
Middleway, this county, is being torn
down, preparatory TO the erection of a
new structure. While the work was in
progress last Friday terrible accident
occurred, which might have caused death
TO seven men. The roof was torn of, and
three inexperienced men were on the
ioists on top of the ceiling in the upper
half story, tearing away the joists, when
the ceiling gave way, letting the men fall
TO the lower floor, II feet, with ceiling,
bricks, ETC., falling on them. Messrs.
Randolph Anderson and w. b. Brinning
were hurt seriously, the former having
one limb mangled in terrible condition
and torn up in such q manner that there
is no hope for his recovery. The gallery
or other half of the top yet remained and
some men, four in number, thought it
could be removed without further injury,
and placed props underneath and went to
work, they thought, in safety, when it
fell in likewise, leaving some of them I'M
conscious. They we're taken home and
their wounds dressed. Several of them
are lying very Ill. A carpenter was then
sent for, which should nave been done
before, and the rest Of the building re-
moved without further injury.

Mr.. S. p. Rinker has been appointed as
sistant depot agent at this place to fill the
vacancy caused by the transfer of Mr. II.

ator at that place.

stock Of ready-made clothing at cost

Sol. Murray went forth on Sunday last
rejoicing in the pride Of his heart to take
a bicycle ride. He returned in anything
but merry mood, and rather sorer than

Mr.. Joseph Downey bought a Texas
pony about two weeks ago. On Sunday
last it died. It had been sick almost from
the first day of its purchase. Its disease
was a singular one, and ballied the skill
and knowledge of our veteran horse doc
tors 1t first appeared as swelling
around the eyes which grew worse from
day to day until the whole head became
one large sore or rather mass of corrup-
ton.
There is a considerable amount of sick
ness prevailing in our town at this time.
Mrs Geo. w. Windle has been very i'll for
! five or six weeks, but we are glad to say
she is now improving. Mrs. Ann Allison
is also so critically i'll that. at this writing,
her death IS looked for at any time. MI
Jno. r. Miller and wife are both sick. Mr.
Mller's is a chronic case, he having been
i'll for over a year, and will probably never
get out again. There are number of 9th
er cases, but none of a serious character.
The contract has been let for building
good brick pavements from Main street Il

Messrs. Hickman Il Fadeley are the con
tractors. In the meantime would it moi
be wise for our authorities to fill up the
huge and dangerous wash on Picadillf
street, along the residence of Mr.. A. }
Hopewell, before some one falls into II
and gets seriously injured : A case o
that kind might cost the town more thar
enough to build many yards of pavement
Why not fiji it mp at once, and not wal

A CARD.
rs Of The Herah

Editors Of The Herald
shall have TO ask you to allow me a
little more space in your columns, and then
am done.
Mr. Wightman claims have treated him
so cruelty. should like to know if tell
ing man of his violated promises is any
worse than cheating a poor man out of
half summers work to be elected sheriff.
He says some of the causes were to be
found nearer home. No doubt know
of one haf-breed who took quite an inter
est IN trying to find ont whether / was to
have the appointment or not, but Mr.
Wiehtman's first excuse was that awful
letter" which | wrote him, and which he
NAV publish if he chooses, and l Will then
have few Of his published that he wrote
to parties during the campaign-thcy may
be improbable and unpleasant rccitals,
however.
In appointing deputies he always lis
tens to public requests. If he can find
one true and tried Republican IN Ashby
Township, and will publish his name, who
objects to, or did object, to my appoint
ment. then ! shall say no more.
He says, in conclusion, that the selec-
ton of deputies is about the hardest du-
ties sheriff has to perform. he had as
lief hang man as appoint me, after obl-
eating himself to do so, he certainly de-
serves TO be excused for his one mistake /;
for we all know that hanging is one OF the
sheriA7s dnties when the court so orders.
wish to say, in conclusion, that have
made many mistakes--madese several in the
spring election-was foolish enough to
prefer .Jno. l.. Keller to Robt. }. Walker
in the convention, but soon found, after
looking around, that ! was mistaken IN
regard to Keller's popularity, for that was
nv only reason. SO also in regard TO be-
Loving that Mr.. w. and his associates
meant to do what they promised, Tor !
have the very best reasons for believing
that they never entertained an idea OF do
ing it. As for there being anything be-
tween Mr. Wightman and myself, there Is
nothing, except the favor | did him in MI
Jackson that his word might be made
good and the expense of going to Wood
stock to get Mr. Hawkins reconciled' but
perhaps am too cruel.
Mr.. Keller will please appoint Precinct
! Chairman at Mt. Jackson
